Whereas transparency is essential for accountability in government;
Whereas sexual harassment and unwelcome sexual advances by Members, Delegates, 
        or Resident Commissioners, in violation of clause 9 and clause 18 of 
        rule XXIII of the Rules of the House, affect the safety, dignity, and 
        the integrity of the proceedings of the House of Representatives: Now, 
        therefore, be it
    Resolved,
            (1) That with respect to reviews, investigations, or matters which 
        the Committee on Ethics or the Office of Congressional Workplace Rights 
        have reviewed, conducted, or facilitated, the Committee on Ethics and 
        the Office of Congressional Workplace Rights shall, not later than 60 
        days after the adoption of this resolution, make publicly available--
                    (A) a single consolidated list that sets forth separately 
                for each Member, Delegate, or Resident Commissioner--
                            (i) the name of each Member, Delegate, or Resident 
                        Commissioner who was the subject of any review or 
                        investigation involving a violation of clause 9 of Rule 
                        XXIII of the Rules of the House of Representatives, as 
                        it pertains to acts of sexual harassment, or clause 18 
                        of Rule XXIII of the Rules of the House of 
                        Representatives, or any case involving sexual harassment 
                        or sexual abuse, if it resulted in a payment of taxpayer 
                        funds; and
                            (ii) adjacent to each such name, the total amount of 
                        taxpayer funds included in all settlements, payments, 
                        reimbursements, awards, or other financial 
                        considerations paid in connection with such matters;
                    (B) the aggregate total amount of taxpayer funds included in 
                all settlements, payments, reimbursements, awards, or other

                investigations, or matters involving Members, Delegates, or 
                Resident Commissioners that did not, in any portion of the 
                settlement, involve sexual harassment, sexual abuse, or sexual 
                misconduct;
                    (C) the aggregate total amount of taxpayer funds included in 
                all settlements, payments, reimbursements, awards, or other 
                financial considerations paid in connection with such reviews, 
                investigations, or matters involving, in part or in full, sexual 
                harassment, sexual abuse, or sexual misconduct by employees of 
                the House of Representatives; and
                    (D) the aggregate total amount of taxpayer funds included in

                misconduct.
            (2) That for purposes of this resolution, any such settlement, 
        payment, reimbursement, award, or other financial consideration shall be 
        treated as involving sexual harassment, sexual abuse, or sexual 
        misconduct if sexual harassment, sexual abuse, or sexual misconduct was 
        any component of the matter, regardless of whether the matter also 
        involved, was classified as, or was resolved under another claim, 
        violation, or category.
            Attest:

                                                                          Clerk.
